Trying mint for first time. Have used Ubuntu previously. I am a bit new to linux world. The background, problem and the steps I have tried for rectifying the same are as following..
1. Running VirtualBox 4.3.12 r93733 on Windows 7 SP 1 host
2. Allocated resources for VM => HDD : 10 GB, Mem : 1536 MB, CPU : 2 with 100% execution cap, PAE/NX : Enabled, Acceleration : VT-x/AMD-v and Nested Paging enabled, Video Mem : 128 MB, 3D video acceleration : enabled
3. After installation there were some updates available, installed them also. (If i remember correctly then before updates I was not getting the message for software rendering mode, but I am not sure)
4. Tried installing VBox guest additions from Device => Insert Guest Additions CD Image, but no luck
Edit : 5. Also tried 'apt install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11' but issue was still present.
6. Cleaned all VBox package with 'sudo apt-get purge virtualbox*' and reinstalled with 'sudo bash ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run' from cd image. Still no improvements.
Following are the outputs from recommended info commands..

Update:
The issue only comes when using Cinnamon with VBox guest additions. I have installed it in VMWare player and cinnamon is working fine with VMWare tools and 3D accelerations.
